An enigmatic performer, Wyclef plays several instruments on stage while rapping in English, Creole, Spanish and even Japanese. His foundation, The Wyclef Jean Foundation, promotes musical education among kids. When asked if he considered himself to be more Haitian or American, he replied ‘I’m 100% Haitian. I’m proud to be Haitian. I still have my Haitian passport. I represent Haiti in everything that I do. Every head in the industry knows that I’m Haitian. They know what I’m about. I was Haitian first. Haiti till I die!’
